Ebay lift kit

I just ordered a 3 inch lift kit off of ebay! The kit consists of re-indexed torsion keys, shock spacers, 3 inch blocks for the rear and new U-bolts. Does anyone have experience with a lift kit similar to this. How do you like it? Time required for installation? Is it worth it?

Yes, the re-indexed torsion bar adjustment keys have to be the worst aftermarket product made. They allow you to put way, way too much preload on your torsion bars which destroyes your ride quality and causes premature wear and tear on your front end. Just crank up the torsion bars with the OEM keys enough to level the truck for free.

Shoulda just turned the bars would've been cheaper and less wear

Well that sucks but its too late now. Thank you for the advice, I definitely don't want to prematurely wear anything out. Are the lift blocks for the rear safe to use?

Yes, using lift blocks in the rear is perfectly safe
